Who can I call that will take action? They moved, and I know where they are, but the school district does not.

Yes, call social services (look in yellow pages under all the county listings). They are US citizens, right, and not being legally homeschooled?

First be sure that you know what your talking about before you take action! I don't want you to take this the wrong way but please be sure that she has not enrolled them in school. Talk to her! If she has not done anything there could be many reasons for this. Maybe she is teaching them on-line or home schooling them. Don't act the savior until you are certain. It would be a tragedy should you be wrong. This could make your life miserable and the rest of your family very mad at you. Now, if you are certain you have eliminated all other possibilities you can approach the school your cousins would other wise be enrolled in. Also contacting your local police department is the easiest way to help. But, again I must caution you! Please be careful what you do. Just because you can make these calls anonymously does not necessarily mean you will not be singled out should something happen. If you are concerned, speak to your aunt, then speak to other members of your family. Don't allow your dislike for your aunt to darken the lives of your cousins. School is important, yes, but so too, is family. Unless of course you have already made up your mind to be hateful, than why ask the question in the first place?

The county where the family has moved either has or at least should have a force of individuals called TRUANCY OFFICERS. They may be employees of the Board of Education. They will be the actual people who will take action on the mother and ensure the children are either being home schooled or enrolled in the appropriate schools.
Hope this helps!

If her children are involved in a reasonable home scohol program there should be no cause for concern. If they are not taking part in any type of program, you should call the school district and ask them what the rules/expectations are.

Home Schooling is perfectly legal - as long as they are getting an education it shouldn't be a concern. However if they are not being educated then I would definitely contact social services.

Call the Bd of Ed. They can tell you who to contact. Child Protective Services would also be interested. She could go to jail or pay a stiff fine.

You could contact social services. You must first find out if they are being home schooled. Good luck.

Skip social services. Call the police. They'll take care of it!
